Minerals, Nutrients, and The Alkaline Diet

The more I researched about minerals, nutrients, and the proper
alkaline diet the angrier I became as a result. It seems the big farming
corporations have been genetically engineering our foods for about 50
years in the name of higher corporate profits and the almighty dollar.
Please bear with me as I explain what has happened and the risks we are
all taking every day. This is not meant to be negative since there is a
solution to this problem, but it is to make you aware of what you are
eating every day. Armed with this knowledge, you can make the choices
you need to make to have good health for you and your family.

Your body is made up of individual cells that have their own
individual environment and
these individual cells come together to form organs. These organs
network and come together to make up your body. Now understand that each
individual cell lives in some type of environment. If this environment
becomes altered by an excess of something that cell doesn't want or
need, or if there is a deficiency of something that that cell needs,
then you are going to end up with problems and the cells will get sick.

Think about the environment on a much larger scale, such as what
is found all through out the planet and nature. In nature mammals
breathe oxygen, which is produced by plants, and plants breath carbon
dioxide, which is produced by mammals. Nature finds balance and all
things are interrelated forming the whole of the planet which is a
living thing itself. It is this kind of relationship that is critical to
understanding what has happened.

Lets take a look at water that comes from the clouds and hits the
ground. This process releases minerals, nutrients and enzymes from the
soil to be used by plants. We humans and other animals eat these plants
and gain nutritional benefits from them. Excess water evaporates and
returns to form clouds and the cycle happens all over again.

As we all eliminate these nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes; they
go back into the earth and cycle back around again. So we are a part of
this environment and share all these things with our environment. Really
quite simple isn't it.

Our bodies will also store up a mineral, enzyme, and nutrients in
a reserve account. At the same time there is a waste-processing center
that uses some of these nutrients, minerals, and enzymes to eliminate
the cells waste. So the cells must be able to have the proper amount and
kinds of nutrients and they have to be able to get rid of wastes to be
healthy.

Now if you go to different areas and cultures in the world you
will find people that traditionally live to be 120 years old where this
natural environment has not been disturbed.

Unfortunately in the US the life cycle has been drastically altered.

About 50 years or so ago the food industry wanted to make more
money so they got together with the scientists and said hey, we need to
grow more crops so we can make more money, can you help us? So the
scientists went to work and decided that they lost a lot of crops to
weeds. These weeds were competing for water, nutrients, minerals and
enzymes with the plants they were growing for foods. So, they introduced
herbicides to kill the weeds.

Then the scientists said you have a lot of bugs and insects
eating these foods. So they introduced pesticides to kill the bugs that
were eating the plants and foods.

Then they realized that the foods had a lot of fungi that were
destroying the crops. So they introduced fungicides and sprayed the
crops. Now at this point the food companies where growing more crops and
making a lot more money, but look what happened next.

They had too much food stacking up on the grocery store shelves
driving down the prices, because it was also rotting, since people could
not consume it fast enough. So they went back to the scientists and
asked them if they could prevent this food from rotting to fast.

So now we get back to the Enzyme Cycle. When an apple is pulled
from a tree it can no longer get nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and
enzymes from the tree, and it cannot eliminate its wastes from its
cells. It has become a fully self-contained living thing even though it
has been removed from the tree. It will now through the use of enzymes
(nothing happens in the body without them) start to eat itself to stay
alive; this causes it to rot as the plant runs out of internal
nutrients. Think about this as it relates to your body for a minute.

So back to the scientists that discovered that they could
introduce enzyme inhibitors by heat, radiation, and other chemical
therapies. These processes come in and kill the enzymes within the food
so the food will not self-digest. Now you have an extended shelf life
for these foods, but these foods are for all purposes nutritionally dead. They offer very little nutritional value for the human body.

Then the food companies found that bacteria was eating some of
this food and causing it to rot. So back to the scientists who decided
ok, we will inject embalming fluid into these foods and call it
preservatives!

So now we have these foods that bugs, fungi, and bacteria won't
eat because it is dead and has been treated with chemicals. But, whom do
you think will eat it? Humans! Is it any wonder we rank #38 in the
world for health care and our life expectancy is 28th. The US is also
ranked #1 for the incidence of degenerative diseases.

The World Health Organization reported that:

"Basically, you die earlier and spend more
time disabled if you're an American rather than a member of most other
advanced countries."

Now these chemicals are known as xenobiotics that work by going
into the living cell of the plant and destroy the reproductive organs
and systems of that cell, and we eat this stuff.

Presently these idiots in the food industry are adding animal dna
to plants. Performing gene splicing and cross breading. Introducing
growth chemicals directly into the cells of the plant to get them to
grow bigger, etc. Is it any wonder that the rest of the world won't buy
our genetically altered produce any more? I think not!

Think about all this for a minute as it applies to your health
and acidosis. If we are eating enzymatically dead foods that are loaded
with chemicals and are nutritionally dead, as these toxins accumulate in
the body, wouldn't it most definitely run the body down and weaken your immune system. You bet it would and that weakened immune system would allow yeast to get out of control.
